Book Discussions

At NAMI-KDK (Kane-South, DeKalb, and Kendall Counties), our book discussion groups offer a welcoming space to explore mental health topics through powerful stories and shared reflection. Guided by peers, each discussion fosters thoughtful conversation, connection, and personal insight in a supportive environment.

You Are Not Alone

You Are Not Alone by Dr. Ken Duckworth shares real stories and expert advice to offer hope, support, and practical guidance for anyone facing mental health challenges.

For Parents and Caregivers

The perfect follow-up to “You Are Not Alone: The NAMI Guide to Navigating Mental Health,” “You Are Not Alone for Parents and Caregivers: The NAMI Guide to Navigating Your Child’s Mental Health” is the resource for every trusted adult helping a child or young adult manage their mental health.

"During a time when I felt hopeless, alone and lost I was told to try NAMI support groups. I didn't know anyone in my family or friends that had a mental health condition that I could talk to. NAMI Connections Support Groups opened up a whole new world of hope, understanding and empathy."
